Episode 117 - Planning Maintenance

Welcome to Episode 117 Main Topic

Preparing for Maintenance

How do you make sure a new deployment is ready for prime
time? 

Testing



How do you plan a maintenance window? 

Do you have pre-set maintenance windows?

What is considered “down time” for your
business? 

Or maybe just what isnt prime time?





How do you prepare your team for a go-live? 

Is your new deployment well defined?

Documentation

Architecture diagrams?

Can another admin jump in using your docs and
troubleshoot a problem?



Has it passed whatever security checks your business
has?

What about vendor involvement? 



How do you spend the first week (or weeks?) after
go-live? 

Increased monitoring

How do you “operationalize”?
